12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy dark orange with about a quarter-finger of white head. Aroma is mostly citrus with just a hint of pine. Taste is lightly bitter. Citrus and pine. Light bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, not bad. I was expecting a little bit more but, as with most Shiner beers, would make a good intro to craft.

Pour is a copper with a average white head. Aroma is a decent citrus hop with some bready malt. Flavor is about the same a minor hop to start then comes a decent mellow caramel malt. No frills here just a average drinking pale ale.

12oz bottle picked up at Whip In
Pours clear amber with a small white head. Aroma and taste is of dusty caramel and floral with some citrus. Not a bad pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a gold copper with a small creamy white head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is corn malt, wheat and floral hop. Thin mouthfeel with a dry hop and honey with rich finish. A good American palw ale from Spoetzl.

12 oz. bottle from Shiner. Pours a very clear, burnished gold malt color, under a slightly orangey and thick head. Smell brings on the hops, but in a mild way. Smell does bring in the hops, but in a gentle way. This is proclaimed to be the first ever ale from Shiner after 102 years of lagers, and the intent seems to be as a "gateway" from their lagers. Taste has slightly light malt, possibly some of it is balanced from the hops, but the overall effect is a lighter mouthfeel than the usual hop bombs. Hops are definitely American, with notes of citrus, pine and resin. Just not as powerful as the usual hop bomb. In other words, easy going and almost sessionable.
